足球经常被誉为帮助处于困难环境中的年轻人进行康复和恢复工作以及克服街头生活的关键动力。在非洲大部分地区，文献将许多城市公共场所视为贫困儿童的游乐空间，因为他们进入公园和游乐场的其他途径有限。 “街道”经常被改造成足球场，作为孩子们可以轻松进入的空间。在此背景下，南非成功申办2010年世界杯，可以被视为一个机会，向贫困青年展示团队运动所取得的令人振奋的成就，但与此同时，却与年轻人被赶出城市街道相提并论，而很少考虑对他们生活的影响。本文基于对开普敦市中心 50 多名年龄在 10 岁至 28 岁之间的街头儿童和 30 名街头青少年的定性研究。它通过关键叙述展示了流浪年轻人如何被排除在城市之外以努力清理街道。本文最后考虑了这些措施对年轻人生活的影响。
Soccer has often been hailed as a key motivator in rehabilitation and restoration work with young people in difficult circumstances and for overcoming street life. Across much of Africa, the literature identifies many urban public places as play spaces for poor children who have limited alternative access to parks and playgrounds. 'The street' has regularly been transformed into a soccer pitch, as a space where children have easy access. Against this backdrop, South Africa's success at securing the 2010 World Cup bid, may be viewed as an opportunity to demonstrate the uplifting achievements of team sports for impoverished youth, yet at the same time, is juxtaposed against the removal of young people from the city streets, with little consideration of the impact on their lives. This paper draws on qualitative research with over 50 street children and 30 street youth aged between 10 and 28 from Cape Town's city centre. Using key narratives, it demonstrates how vagrant young people are being excluded from the city in an effort to clean up the streets. The paper ends with a consideration of these measures for young people's lives.
